AMD FX 8320 vs i5 4690

[Harman Singh]

Hello TH! I am having my pc build by my friend, and on my budget, I can either go for
1) i5-4690(non-K) with a HIS IceQ X2 Radeon R9 270X 2 GB
or
2)AMD-FX 8320 with XFX Black Edition Double D OC AMD Radeon R9 280(non X) 3GB

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! Why is fx a dead end?

ok. But what is better about the i5 because I could get a better graphics card with fx 8320.

On Which socket are they going to release their new Cpus ?

The i5 has better single threaded performance, which current and past games prefer. That said, we're beginning to see video games that want eight threads, due to the whole PS4/XB1 debacle.

What will you be using the computer for? Gaming, I assume?

No word that I've come across , the FX 9000 series is like putting a volcano on your board.

Yeah mainly League of Legends, and some of The Forest. I also will play CS:GO. Mainly LoL though.

Go intel more than sufficient for your needs.
